Old Otter 1, if nothign else, you certainly can be trusted to crawl out from under the woodpile just in time to put your proverbial foot str8 into it..........
I said pax onboard....not instructor or essentail crew....pax....PAYING PASSENGERS! There is a B I G difference.
As to my original statement about just one sound reason.....still haven't seen one yet. What's wrong with forming-up for the last 5 minutes of the flight? instead of the bl++dy dangerous pairs-takeoff, one-behind-the-other....didn't see any canopy rel work happening down amoungst the reeds???at dot feet.
Could it be you were one of the culprits?
